Back to Basics
I love to make things, create things, and grow things. Last week was a good week for doing everything. First, I made two pints of yogurt. Love homemade yogurt. I’ve been growing pickling cucumbers, so I’ve made a couple of quarts of refrigerator pickles. The recipe I used is here. And I’ve got my radish …
Children’s Books
Today I want to talk about children’s illustrated books. The frustrations. The excitement. The ups and downs. Children’s illustrated books have a format all their own.

Writers, Editors, And Readers (Draft Post)

Obviously, you’re going to say books, but what else? http://booksbywomen.org/how-to-write-what-you-know/ Okay, well that’s all I had on this one and I’m not sure where I was going, but… I believe that one other thing we have in common is, …
What’s New with Me, You Ask?
This is a draft post from November 18th, 2014 at 10:06 a.m. Actually, nobody asked. 🙂 But I’ve got lots to share, so here goes! We have been battered by the Santa Ana winds for the past three days. Oh, how I hate the wind! This was taken on the way to my Dads on Sunday. …
